Heartsease

Yander Mis' Pansy,
 down in de bo'der,
She stay right to home
 en keep huh house in order;
She's allers please ter hab you stop
 en pass de time o' day,
En mek you feel you's mighty glad
 you come along dat way.
She ain' one fo' runnin' 'roun'
 dis-away or dat;
She seem ter say,—"Now, do set down
 an' res' yo' hat!"
